The new, state-of-the-art ST 2100 from ORBCOMM is a satellite communications (SATCOM) device that enables Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution providers to deliver ubiquitous and affordable connectivity to customers, along with enhanced reliability, improved asset visibility and access to new markets and geographies.
This new and versatile device features a built-in antenna that enables solution providers to extend their IoT and M2M applications beyond cellular coverage.
The ST 2100 is designed for quick integration into IoT applications with minimal development. Integrating this device into your solution enables two-way satellite communications and reliable global coverage, including areas with limited cellular connectivity. As a sole communications device or as a reliable backup, the ST 2100 provides low-cost satellite connectivity as the solution. The ST 2100 offers a smaller footprint and more flexible installation configuration compared to previous devices.
An optional, internal, super capacitor maximizes reliability by enabling “last-gasp” messages to be sent, allowing continued operation during temporary power loss. A built-in GNSS module supports global location tracking and reporting. Over the air satellite updates grants the ST 2100 the ability to receive new firmware versions without the necessity of an on site technician. Additional over the air capabilities include the option to use the ST 2100 to remotely reset devices and equipment.
Additionally, the device features an M12 connector for easy integration into new and existing solutions, while retaining the command set from its predecessor for a seamless upgrade.
The rugged and environmentally sealed ST 2100 is designed for use in fixed and mobile asset apps across various industries such as fleet management, maritime and utilities.
With a broad set of integration tools, it’s easy for partners to bring their solutions to market. ORBCOMM’s Starter Kit provides tools for the complete solution development cycle—from development to testing and production—and includes the device, a simulation environment, an interface development board and more. The ST 2100 can be configured to support a wide range of applications and customer requirements.
